The Ear Trumpet Was Missing.

An honored guest at one of the uptown ho-
tells recently was portly and dignifled old
lady. She was dressed in rllstling black silk
and stiff white cap, and even the clerk was
awed by her presence and conversation. 1t
was highly edifying sight at meal hours to
watch +le head waiter obsequiously convey
ing this piece of ancient respectability across
the dining hall to seat. Increasing deaf
ness led the old lady always to carry an ear
trumpet with her, but the presence of that
implement did not detract from the inn
prsssiv ness of the scene. The ceremony of
seating having having been duly performed,
hhe would order her meal, and the waiter
having humbly dropped a few words of ex-
PLANTATION or suggestion into the business end
of the trumpet, would depart on his mission
1t happened, however, few mornings ago
that the old lady reached the breakfast table
without her trumpet. She did not seem
troubled at forgetting it, but adjusting her
glasses inspected the bill of fare and ordered
breakfast, concluding with request for some
fishballs.
'There amt any fishballs, ma'am," said
the waiter, respectfully.

"There amt any fishballs this morning"
"And l wish you would tell the cook not

"And wait a moment. Tell her to be very
careful not to use halibut for fishballs instead
of Goldfish. l understand it is frequently
done.
"There amt any fishballs today" repeated
the waiter in loud tones.
"You really ought not to serve fishballs
every day, john" she said, pleasantly "The
old New England way was to have them for
Sunday breakfasts"
There amt any fshballs," shouted the
waiter.
Eyes, serve them with parsley"
The unfortunate waiter glanced helplessly
about, and then bending down to the old
lady's ear, in tones that proclaimed it to the
entire dining room, he roared out again,
"Thare amt no fishballs today"
"Why didn't you say so, then, John3" she
added, gazing at the flushed waiter over her
spectacles II think you have been drinking.
